Chapter Twenty-Three: The Clumsy Knife, the Man's Seven Taels
Here we go.
More than ten years ago, the duel between the two families of Ding Qi was the same. It's just that at that time, the two heads of the family cherished each other.
Many years have passed, and the Ding family has ceased to exist for the Qi family.
Does Qi Linya feel guilty in his heart? Of course there is, but if he feels indebted to someone because of guilt, then he is not Qi Linya.
He didn't intend to show mercy to his subordinates, he had already made an irreparable mistake, and then he would be wrong.
Qi Linya's first knife planned to use the strongest knife he had when he dealt with Ding Xu's kitchen more than ten years ago.
Violent sword qi poured out from Qi Linya's body.
He didn't care what realm Ding Qiliang was, and he didn't care if Ding Qiliang used a kitchen knife or what kind of knife, as soon as he made a move, it was his most proud trick when he fought against Ding Xu's kitchen, and he used the peerless weapon that ranked sixth on the divine weapon spectrum - the ghost mark knife.
Because he has already regarded Ding Qiliang as the Ding Ku chef who defeated him back then, and only in this way can he convince himself to go with the knife!
The terrifying sword intent was like substance, and everyone felt that a very shallow purple mist seemed to be covered near the Qinhuai Bridge, and the ghost trace knife was purple and shiny all over.
Chenhui, who was watching at Baiquan Restaurant, naturally saw it.
Li Zangjian said: "I regret my five thousand taels a little. As soon as the sword ghost made a move, it was the peak state of the Nine Leaves realm. This trick is broken, and it is difficult to take it after Ding Xu's kitchen is resurrected. ”
Chen Hui was also very uneasy, his realm had broken through the realm of nine leaves, but there was still a considerable gap from what the cook said. He could feel that Qi Linya's strength seemed to be far more than that, and even so, trying to block this knife, I was afraid that he would have to pay a considerable price to follow.
Everyone thought that the competition was going to end as soon as it began.
But I never expected that at this moment when Qi Linya gathered sword qi, at the moment when everyone was emotional-
Ding Qiliang made the first move.
Qi Linya's move is very powerful, when everyone saw the majestic sword qi around Qinhuai Bridge, they were all thinking about the power of this knife, this knife was replaced by themselves, can they take it?
But none of them thought of one thing, that is, not to take this knife.
Ding Qi's body was lowered, and this shot was not a few arcane killing moves in the Ox Solving Knife Method, but a simple cross-cutting move.
His feet were slightly bent and accumulated, and he rushed towards Qi Linya like an arrow, the track was straight, and there was no fear in his expression. Therefore, this simplified knife to the extreme is very fast and fast, almost the fastest knife in Ding Qiliang's life.
A golden sword light and purple sword light slashed at everyone's sight.
The sound of metal blades colliding with each other resounded in everyone's ears with a bit of pain, and between that collision, it seemed that there were many duels.
Immediately, Ding Qiliang's body was heavily knocked away. It was like a boulder thrown out, smashing somewhere on Qinhuai Street, splashing countless dust.
Qi Linya raised his eyebrows.
The purple mist on the Qinhuai Bridge has faded a lot. His ghost mark knife also returned to a silver-white color.
All the onlookers saw this scene, Qi Linya put away his knife and touched Ding Qiliang face to face with Ding Qiliang, who was rushing over, this process was very short, and Ding Qiliang was shocked away.
Naturally, Ding Qiliang lost in this round, but is Ding Qiliang dead? Everyone wants to know.
When the smoke and dust cleared, Ding Qiliang's figure slowly appeared, he was propped up on the ground with one hand, and there were blood stains on the corner of his mouth. The robe on his body also broke a long gap,
He got up slowly, looking a little struggling. Step by step, we go back to where we started.
Qi Linya's expression was complicated, but the ghost marks in his hand did not let go of half a point.
One knife did not work, and there were two more knives.
Ding Qiliang's actions are already extremely slow at this moment, and it is impossible for him to defend and attack like just now, even if he can, I am afraid that the second such a collision will kill him.
But Qi Linya was still surprised.
"As I said, knives are not for catching." Ding Qiliang stood up straight and looked at Qi Linya proudly.
Qi Linya nodded, he really didn't expect Ding Qiliang's response to be actually advancing instead of retreating. Suddenly, there was some admiration for the young man.
In Baiquan Restaurant, many people from the rivers and lakes and several people from Chenhui saw this scene.
Li Zangjian clapped his hands and said: "This Ding family, although it is only the first glimpse of the realm of leaves, is already a master in terms of comprehension of the knife. ”
Gu Sanqian said with a smile: "It's a pity, there is no internal strength, what can he do to deal with the knife ghost?" He knew that the knife ghost's knife would inevitably kill him, so he wisely chose to strike first and broke Qi Linya's sword momentum. But how could Qi Linya give him such a chance again, and the knife just now had already cost him half of his life. It seems that my fifty thousand taels of silver were not mistaken. ”
The weather in Qinzhou City was gloomy, as if it was about to rain.
The scholar glanced at Chen Hui, who was very worried.
"The second knife of the knife ghost, if the cook can dodge it, maybe there is still half a chance to live. However, you and I both know that the cook ......" The scholar was surprised that he was also a little worried about this wanted criminal.
"He won't hide, and he won't die." Chen Hui's expression was very serious, and the second half of his words did not have some credibility, but he still said so.
……
Qi Linya's second knife didn't come in a hurry.
He concluded that Ding Qiliang would not take the second knife hard, because the second knife would be stronger than the first knife, and he didn't plan to give Ding Qiliang any chance.
Therefore, this knife will cut off all the vitality of Ding Qiliang.
Ding Qi raised his knife twice.
Even on the Qinhuai Bridge, you can hear the sudden laughter. Ding Qiliang's knife was broken.
The kitchen knife that had been used for many years, the moment he raised the knife to condense the knife qi, it was like a stone slab that had been hit by a heavy hammer, and suddenly cracked into countless pieces.
A swordsman, he doesn't even have a knife, how can he fight?
This is the horror of the knife ghost, my father fought with such a monster back then, and he was able to win half a move against him.
A smile hung on the corner of Ding Qiliang's mouth, the knife had been broken, but the fighting spirit was still there.
It would be nice if it was Jiu Tu in his hand.
Ding Qiliang suddenly thought like this.
If you don't die today, you will be able to hold the Nine Slaughters in your hands, and in time, you will be able to use the strongest trick in the Ox Solving Knife Technique.
If you don't die today......
The sky was a little dark, and the clouds seemed to be thousands of times heavier.
Ding Qiliang's expression was a little resolute. He didn't expect that with just a simple collision, he would have lost to such a point, and the worst was expected to be after the second knife.
But this is the first cut.
Qi Linya still needs two more swords, maybe only one.
Ding Qiliang listened to the laughter one after another, coming from various restaurants nearby, and felt lonely like never before.
But he still held the hilt of the knife, and used the broken kitchen knife to cross his chest, waiting for Qi Linya's second knife.
……
Qi Linya's second knife came after all. The noisy and boiling Qinhuai Street was quiet for a moment.
The realm displayed by this sword Qi Linya was beyond the comprehension of everyone present, and they only saw this sword falling from the sky transform into a purple clutch and attack with the momentum of Mount Tai.
Ghost Knife Trick Mystery Yama Destroy.
This clutch is extremely huge, and the possibility of Ding Qiliang escaping is almost none.
Naturally, because this knife is extremely fast!
But there were still a very few people in this kind of majestic field who asked themselves if they could do it, but they also saw a purple qi wall with Qi Linya as the center, with a radius of ten zhang.
The internal strength that is so strong that it can be seen is already amazing, and it is really unimaginable that such a large amount of internal energy can be mobilized to form such a large barrier under the condition of casting an extremely strong sword.
Some people are already thinking, could it be that Qi Linya has broken through that threshold?
Qi Linya's move was to declare his strength, to minimize the damage of this knife, and to completely block all of Ding Qiliang's retreats.
Through that layer of purple mist, one could only see a huge clutch urging on.
And the insignificant Ding Qiliang was still holding the broken kitchen knife. He didn't dodge, didn't even try to dodge. The picture is so desperate, he holds the knife, and uses all his strength not to run, but to resist. Then it was engulfed in a strong purple color.
Like a fool.
All the sounds were suddenly covered, and the Qinhuai Bridge, which was more than ten zhang long, collapsed.
The river water under the Qinhuai Bridge was crushed into a mist because of this knife, stirring around, and then crashed into the enchantment formed by Qi Linya's condensed internal strength, and the sand and gravel that were chopped also flew everywhere in the enchantment.
If Qi Linya doesn't build this barrier, I'm afraid that if this knife goes down, all the restaurants around it will suffer from the pond fish.
Everything within the barrier is rubble and turbulence. No one could see what was going on inside, but everyone present knew one thing.
If anyone in the world is in the realm that Qi Linya has just created, I am afraid that he will suffer a heavy blow.
"The name of this knife ghost is the first knife in the world, which is really not an exaggeration at all. Brother Tibetan Sword, I'm afraid Ding Qiliang doesn't even have scum left, you may have to drink wind this month. Gu Sanqiu was in a very good mood.
Li Zangjian did not speak.
Of course, he also felt that Ding Qiliang was dead.
There is no suspense in this battle. The Qi family vs. the Ding family? This kind of gimmick has no meaning, if it was the north-south knife duel back then, it would naturally be a sensation in martial arts and even in the whole continent.
But the Ding family perished, the rivers and lakes are cruel, not to mention ten years, just one year, the people in the rivers and lakes have long ceased to have any respect for the Ding family. The Qi family is doing an unrighteous act, and because they are victors, they are not cared for.
Li Zangjian didn't understand it very much.
Why did Ding Qiliang challenge Qi Linya. He knew that Ding Qiliang was a wanted criminal, and he also knew that he had gotten rid of wanted, and even if he survived with a 1 in 100,000 chance today, he would be coveted by many people present, and his head would be exchanged for a bounty.
Why, it's clear that as long as you can catch your breath, you will definitely be able to live well with someone like Chenhui.
Why do you have to come back.
In life, sometimes it's better to take a step back?
Li Zangjian doesn't understand, and the vast majority of people present don't understand either, although the scholars understand, but they are limited to understanding, in this world, can there really be people who can do it without retreat and no regrets?
Chen Hui wanted to rush out to save the cook at this moment, no matter whether he was still alive under this knife, the cook might not be able to win this fight. But he never moved.
If the cook could speak to himself at the moment, he would definitely stop himself. Let himself not interfere in this duel in his fate.
Chenhui was anxious. He seriously underestimated Qi Linya's strength.
The barrier slowly faded. Because everything is gradually calming down. Qi Lin's teeth were surrounded by purple sword qi, cutting off all the residual strength of his knife, and not a drop of water or dust was contaminated. He was dressed in green clothes, standing with a knife in his bearing, just like before the knife, as if the shattered surroundings had nothing to do with him at this moment.
Ding Qiliang was not in everyone's sight, but people saw that the river under the bridge was dyed red.
He's dead. Everyone present and watching the battle, even Qi Linya, felt that everything was over, and Ding Qi's two corpses sank into the Qinhuai River. In this competition, Ding Qiliang brought him a trace of joy, Ding Qiliang had gathered the sword momentum for many years, and Qi Linya was not.
Before the retreat, he killed Ding Xuchu, and after the retreat, he killed Ding Xuchu's son. For so many years, he has been puzzled by the Qi family's actions against the Ding family back then, and his sword heart is dusty, but now he is finally clear.
Since evil has already arisen, carry it out. In a sense, this is also his way of no regrets, and only by having no regrets can he achieve the strongest sword.
Qinhuai Street is very quiet, deathly silent.
Ding Qiliang should have died, but no one spoke, and Qi Linya did not put away the knife. His eyes couldn't see through the turbid Qinhuai River.
……
Many years ago, in a large family in Frost River.
A boy is practicing knives with his father.
"Dad, I want to learn how to cook."
"Practicing knives can make others no longer able to bully you, but you can't cook."
"However, practicing knives is to cut people, how can there be so many people to cut them, how good it is to cut vegetables, and it can fill your stomach."
"Haha, stinky boy, it's a bit zen to speak."
"Dad, will I embarrass you if I learn to cook?"
"That's not that it won't be, although you are the son of the head of the family, you will be laughed at if you are too weak, but as long as you don't regret it."
"I won't regret it, if I don't let me cook, then I will regret it."
"Well, to be a man is to be the happiest person, and never regret the decisions you make."
"Hmm!"
"If you regret it, you will retreat, and if you retreat, you will put in danger what you are waiting to protect behind you, son, I will pass on your kung fu. This kung fu is very simple, do not rely on practice but rely on enlightenment, after learning, you can protect the person you want to protect, as long as you never regret it and never retreat. ”
"Dad, as long as it's not as difficult to practice as the Ox Knife Technique."
"Remember, you can lose, but you can't retreat. As long as you can comprehend this sentence, you will be able to learn this kung fu. ”
"Is it that simple? Didn't anyone else learn? ”
"Sometimes the simpler things are, the harder they are to actually implement them. Because this kung fu is so simple, no one has learned it except for the person who created it, since ancient times. ”
"Then you adults must be thinking too complicated. I'm sure I'll learn! ”
Ding Qiliang's consciousness, which sank into the Qinhuai River, was no longer clear, and he suddenly recalled the conversation when he first learned Jiuniu without regrets many years ago. It's simple, it's commonplace, it's casual.
But it affected his life.
In life, sometimes it's better to take a step back? Of course he understands this truth, but after all, he has to move forward, and if he blindly retreats, won't he keep denying himself?
If retreat is for a better way forward, if it is always to move forward, then he is willing to choose only to move forward.
The water of the Qinhuai River slowly calmed down, and some people had already begun to leave Baiquan Restaurant. Even though Qi Linya had not left, those who had come to justice could not announce the results. But such a long silence should also speak for itself.
Qi Linya wanted to put away the knife, and Chen Hui also went to Qinhuai Bridge. One looked indifferent, the other was full of sorrow,
At this time, a red light was born in the Qinhuai River.
The red light seemed to come from hell, but it was so dazzling.
When people were amazed that they didn't know what was happening, a hand stretched out the surface of the Qinhuai River and pressed it on the other side of the collapsed Qinhuai Bridge, this side of Qi Linya.
Chen Hui stopped, and Qi Linya also stopped.
For some reason, Chen Hui suddenly felt that his nose was a little sour. This guy is really stubborn and doesn't give up until he dies.
Ding Qiliang slowly climbed up. He crawled very slowly, slowly, and every movement seemed to be in great pain.
He was covered in blood and covered in a layer of red light.
His vitality is getting less and less, but the red light on his body is getting stronger and stronger.
The knife in his hand didn't know where it went, he bent over and made a defensive gesture, he couldn't say anything at the moment, but his meaning was obvious.
There is also a knife, please make a move.
He held his knife in a defensive gesture. At this time, no one laughed at Ding Qiliang, everyone was silent with their mouths closed, their expressions were complicated and unbelievable.
Qi Linya wasn't surprised for too long, he looked at Ding Qiliang, who was covered in blood, and began to think about something. In the end, he tightened his grip on the Ghost Mark Knife, raised the knife, and swung the third knife that was no longer necessary!
There is no enchantment, and there is no purple ghost knife aura.
Even, without using much internal force, he could have shown the strength of the Extreme Realm in this sword, but in the end he didn't do so. Ding Qiliang was completely unable to move, in fact, it was already very difficult to put on a defensive posture.
Or, Qi Linya was also a little afraid.
If the third knife after showing all his strength still didn't kill this descendant of the Ding family, what would it do? This possibility actually does not exist, Qi Linya at this moment, even if he cuts off Ding Qiliang's body with a knife, or cuts off his head, it is not difficult.
But in the end, he just made a knife very calmly.
This is a very ordinary knife that is even very light for Qi Linya, but just because it is a knife from a knife ghost, it is extremely unusual. This knife hit Ding Qiliang head-on.
A violent air stream blew, and the air was filled with a cloud of blood mist. Ding Qiliang should be repulsed, and then fall to the ground. Dante Qiliang did not retreat, and those unknown red lights became more and more abundant, and they were already very dazzling.
Ding Qiliang, who was hit head-on, sailed against the current, approaching step by step, he was covered in blood and couldn't see his face clearly, only the look in his eyes shocked Qi Linya.
What kind of look is that?
It's like saying to Qi Linya, even if I die, my soul will not retreat.
It's as if to say, even if you still have the fourth, fifth, and thousandth knives, I won't retreat.
Ding Qiliang raised his hand, obviously there was no knife, but he still had to make a knife swing action.
Instead of retreating, he wanted to attack.
His knife was gone, his body was riddled with holes and mutilation, but he felt he could fight again.
Chen Hui felt that something was blocked in his heart, and he was also shocked, he had never seen such a person. This is a manly battle!
He slowly came behind the cook, the red light on Ding Qiliang's body slowly faded, and the eyes that shocked Qi Linya finally closed slowly.
Just as his hand was about to touch Qi Linya, Ding Qiliang's body finally lost its balance and fell down.
After all, the knife was not swung down, and Ding Qiliang lost too much blood and fell unconscious.
But Qi Linya felt that he had endured a powerful slash that he had never felt in his life. One move ignores all realm spans of slashes.
Chen Hui caught Ding Qiliang's body, feeling Ding Qiliang's boiling heart, he was finally sure what that red light was.
It's courage.
No retreat and no regrets sometimes don't need so much understanding, and you don't need so many trade-offs, you just need to have courage. The master once said that only the most talented genius can turn all kinds of temperament and emotions into his own strength.
The cook is such a genius and a real man.
Chen Hui whispered to the unconscious Ding Qiliang: "Leave the rest to me." ”
The thunder suddenly sounded, and the rain fell suddenly, so violently, as if a burning resolute mind was waiting to be extinguished.
Qi Linya put away the knife and turned around, no longer speaking.
Chen Hui also turned around and gently crossed the Qinhuai River with Ding Qiliang on his back.
